28 thoughts on “Fun in the Sand”

I have my head hung for sadness as your kiddies will be leaving! OH MY! “BIG HUGS”!!!Now WHERE do I start? I LOVE it all. Hmmmm, Favorite, MAYBE the pewter fish, OR that BOWL with the fish HANGING OUT as handles(LOVE THAT). AND that wonderful sandcastle birdhouse(is it REALLY a Bird house???) Oh Yes, LOVE IT ALL! Thanks for sharing all your pretties with us…Of Course it’s the NEW ENGLAND Clam chowder for me too… HAHAHA, The great debate in our area of the country…Big Hugs,Donna

Hi LInda, I head to the beach every possible opportunity I have. I don’t let the sand spoil my good times either. I know what it means to stretch out the last days of summer enjoying the children being home. You still have your magic touch on the tablescapes, this one is so lovely. Love the sandcastle centerpiece and Hydrangeas. Gorgeous colors.

Love your layered linens with the beach towel as the basis. The same feelings are floating through my thoughs as I view this tablescape of a never ending summer. My favorite is the sandcastle and just the cuteness says dreams of beach and fun in the sand!

Wonderful elements for a marvelous beachy table. I’m gaga over those two serving bowls. Wow! Yes, I try to lay out my serving pieces in advance. I usually put a sticky note in or on each piece noting the name of the food item. Saves time in the hurried moments prior to serving the meal. Thanks for inviting us for a peak. Cherry Kay

Linda~ We didn’t make our annual family trip to the beach this year so I’m soaking in all your beautiful seaside photos! Your last one could be a travel brochure cover or post card! Love your FUN sandcastle/birdhouse as your centerpiece. I have those same PB fish plates and I think I’ve mentioned I have sea urchin shaker envy 🙂 Thanks for the fun in the sand & sun!

Linda, I love the idea of the beach towel as the tablecloth/placemat. Perfect to hide any grains of sand that end up on the table. I’ll be on the lookout for some of your spectacular accent pieces. I hope your remaining summer days are twice as long as normal.

Linda, first of all, your blog name always makes me smile and I am definitely following that advice today. I am so sorry about your kids leaving. Mine are far away and I have been counting the days until Thanksgiving for way too long. Your serving pieces are so unique! I just love that bowl with the fish hanging over the edge. I, too, get out all the serving pieces in advance, complete with serving utensil. After my husband “helped” me a while back, I realized I much rather have it figured out ahead of time. Beautiful photography brings me right there. Loved the sand castle! Lovely table!

You’re going to think either I have 20/900 vision or that I’ve had one too many mimosas for breakfast, but I really thought that sandcastle/birdhouse was something newly sculpted you created for this tablescape!!! It looks like real sand that is….I’m just freakin’! That little dude is really cool!!! I love the way you embellished it with bling! Such a pretty setting, and I love the serving dishes…especially the one for the pasta/veggie salad! Super unique! The sea urchin S&Ps are really slick, too! I’m a big fan of New England clam chowder, too. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tasted that other kind. It’s cool here this morning (FINALLY!!!), so that actually sounds good for breakfast! Have a good weekend!

Here I am in my little cottage steps away from the foothills of the Rockies ~ but you have made me feel like I am at the beach! What a happy and fun tablescape in such a carefree and beautiful setting!

Feeling your heartache of your children leaving! just don’t listen to the new song by Jason Mraz called 93 million Miles, it will make you cry! Beautiful song though!!! Now back to your fun summer beachscape- now that made me smile!! so cute! so many little details all come together For Fun!!

You set the most fabulous and creative table’s Linda!And this one is a pure delight!I so feel for you with the empty nest syndrome!!!But never fear, soon there will be little grandbabies to take their place and the cycle will continue!Hugs friend,Cindy

We are anxious for Fall here in Missouri. All the fields/crops are ruined from the drought. We are finally around to temps in 90’s for the most part. The triple digit temps killed so much of our lawn and gardens. When we look out across the lake the trees have turned brown, giving a false image of Fall. Even though I usually enjoy Summer, I am so ready for Fall this year.:-)

This is FUN and beautiful! I love those starfish plates!My hydrangea pretty much fried, I wonder if I will have any to dry.Thanks so much for linking your fun in the sand to Let’s Dish!Cheer up, you will be used to that empty nest in no time! You may even like it!

Hi Linda! Oh, I’m just enthralled by your wonderful setting. All of your cute dishes. I love the bowl where it looks like the fish is hanging over each side.Thank you for popping in to see m.eBe a sweetie,Shelia 😉

What wonderful seascape items you have for a tablescape. Just reading your words about bare feet on the sand make me long for a walk on the beach. I grew up just miles from the Gulf, so beach days were part of my childhood. Thanks for sharing these views of the beach. 😉

Beautiful tablescape, Linda! One of the things I’ll miss the most when I move will be the ocean and beaches! I love your glass sphere full of sand and shells…it’s a beautiful decoration. Hope your children have settled in well in their universities!
